Our intention was to design a product that can generate electricity from a variety of different doors, especially those of business owners whose doors frequently open and close. Although theoretically it would fit on their doors and generate electricity, there would be some drawbacks. Our project inhibits the door from closing all the way, and it would likely not survive violent movements, such as slamming the door closed. Additionally, our product does not hold too strongly against the rigors of the market. If another company wanted to, they could easily make our product for far cheaper. In addition, it would take a long time for the customer to get pay back from their investment. However, with more improvements, these limitations could be overcome and the prototype could become a very practical solution.

The design is quite simple and could be mass manufactured relatively easily. Assuming the prototype is adjusted to overcome its limitations and sold for a reasonable price, the supply-demand dynamic could be balanced in such a way that the selling of this product steadily increases.

Throughout our tests, we collected data that showed the voltage output of our project. Although we were able to generate some electricity, the most substantial conclusion we would show investors is the improvement from our first prototype to our second. In roughly two weeks we were able to almost double our output. If given more time we would continue to improve our design.

The image above is our mentor's assessment of our project. Overall, our project scored well in potential and uniqueness. He felt that our project's future generations had the ability to become much better. In addition, he felt that due to the unique nature of our project, there is not much competition in the current market. On the other hand, our mentor pointed out that our project did not necessarily fulfill the needs that we had initially sought out to address.
